THE EATERS OF OLIVES.

Food for the Poor of Various Lands-A
Travellers Experience.
The extent to which the olive is used varies
greatly in different countries. In northern
countries it is used chiefly as relish eaten by
itself or as q sauce, seasoning or stutfing for
meats, fowls or game. 1t is on the tables of
the rich what the French cali a hors d'euvre
that is, a side dish or table superfuity
But it is far otherwise with the poor in the
south of Europe, to whom it is an important
article of diet. In ancient times the poor
made an entire meal of bread and olives. 1t
is still the same in some parts of Europe,
where peasant thinks himself prepared for
a journey with a piece of bread under his
arm and handful of olives in his pocket In
southern Italy no meal is made without
olives The olive merchants pass regularly
at supper time through the poorer quarters of
the city.
1t is the Spanish habit to eat olives at the
end of meal, but not too many. Three OF
four are usually thought enough, or if they
are very good one may eat dozen. An
italian author recommends the preserving of
Spanish olives-that is, of those grown on
Italian soil-but prefers those called st.
Francis, which is common at Ascoli, where it
attainS the size of a walnut. 1t is, however,
generally agreed among gOurmets that the
smaller olives are best for eating. The man
ner of treatment has, nevertheless, perhaps
something to do with the coarse quality of the
Spanish olive when found III the peninsula.
Olives are preserved in Italy, as elsewhere, in
weak I've or brine. They are also bruised,
stuffed in the Bordeaux manner or dried.
In eastern countries, whence the olive came,
the fruit forms still an important article of
diet traveller relates that he found de
icious a meal of eggs, olives and grapes
offered him by the monks of the monastery
of Mount Libanus. 1t is traditional in the
Catholic church that the monks living in the
desert fed principally on olives. Throughout
Turkey, Asia Minor, Greece and other coun-
tries about the Mediterranean the olive has
remained, as in the most ancient times a sub
Stantial article of food and necessary means
of existence to the toiling millions.-Cor. San

A New German Sewing Machine.

A remarkable step in advance in simplify
ing the sewing machine has been made by
a German gentleman, and the practical
nature of the invention was recently demon
strated. The new machine has not a wheel in
it, and may be described as the working parts
of good sewing machine deprived of all ex-
traneous details, and condensed within the
smallest possible compass. 1t measures only
eight inches high by about two inches wide
and one inch deep. 1t is fitted at the foot
with screw clamp. by which it can be fixed
to the edge of a table, and fairly worked by
child The working motion consists of a
vertical plunger pressed downward by the
finger from the top, the plunger being re-
turned into position for the next push by
spring. 1t makes perfect lock stitch, and
viii sew all kinds of fabrics, fine or coarse
within certain reasonable limits. Beyond its
efficiency, 1t possesses an advantage which
appeals to all, namely, that of economy in
price. So small is its cost that it can be pur
chased for about S5.-London Times

Lord Chur0lsiI1's American aoId.


Talking of speeches reminds me that I
have read most amusing remark made
bs Lord Randolph Churchill in one of his,
a few nights ago. Here is the remark:
"Mr. Gladstone has also American gold to
help him. Eighty-five members Of Mr.
Gladstone's party absolutely depend for
their living on the almighty dollar"
There isn't prima facie anything very
amusing in it. is there? No But here
is where the amusing part comes in. The
laugh begins if we reflect that at the pres
ent moment Lord Randolph Churchill is
himsef-as he has been since his mar
riage-if not altogether at all events
mainly, supported by American dollars,
got through his pretty wife. When he
married Miss Jennie Jerome, OF New
York, and got a bagful of American gold
and mighty dollars" from her papa in ex-
change for his very trumpery title, he was
almost unknown in the political world

he CHANGED to be so lucky as to meet at
dinner party in Paris the beautiful
American girl who has since become such
prominent character in England. She
might have had hump, or a squint, or
snub nose, it would have been all the
same to Lord Randolph, for she had
money. If she hadn't had money, l don't
think her beauty would have helped her
to become Lady Randolph Churchill Like
all other Englishmen of his class, Lord
Randolph wouldn't have married any
woman who hadn't money, and would
have married any woman who had, and
when he found that Miss Jerome owned
the Union league club property in New
York, why he proposed for her Fright

TOO MUCH REVENUE.

''The problem of how to reduce the
revenue of the United States Govern
ment without assaiIing unjustly any par
ticular interest is probably the gravest
one with which Congress will attempt to
deal at its present session." remarks the
San Francisco "Chronicle" in recent
issue. We have already discussed this
question and given reasons for believing
that ii would not be attempted as Il party
measure during the short session. Bills
introduced by individual members do
not count in such a case, and therefore
we dismiss the two measures already in
troduced as not deserving consideration.
1t may be interesting however to our
readers to know how the "Chronicle"
regards this problem. .. 1t is opposed to
the abolition OF sugar duties, because in
its opinion that would not cheaper sugar
to consumers. The abolition of import
duties did not cheaper tea and coffee.
On the contrary, it was followed by an
increase on coffee, and the cheap
breakfast table" Of the stump was not
realized.
Better, it argues, abolish internal rev.
enue taxes. This would greatly lessen
the civil list and leave in the pockets Of
consumers some SIG, 600, 900 year that
now go int the the Treasury But it does
not follow that the consumer would be
benefited in the least degree by such
fiscal change. Forty per cent, We think,
was taken off the tax on tobacco few
years ago in the interests of consumers
and to stimulate exports, but it did not
cheaper tobacco. But quinine was
greatly cheapened to consumers by the
reduction of the import duty upon it.
And in explanation OF the increased
price of coffee after the duty was remit
ted, it is only necessary to say that Brazil,
from which country the United States
obtains the bulk of its coffee, imposed
an export duty of 2 cents per pound, thus
offsetting the amount of duty RENTED
by Act of Congress. What the United
States revenue lost the Brazilian treas
ury gained, and of course American con-
sumers were not benefited.
What appears to be the true solution
would be the gradual reduction of the
duty upon raw materials of manufacture,
and corresponding reduction on inter
nal taxes. How far this could be ac-
complished without assailing any partic
ular interest, i" to quote our San Fran
cisco contemporary phrase, is not for
us to say. We are interested on these
Islands in the continuance of the sugar
duty so long as the Treaty is in force,
and therefore it is point of interest to
our readers to follow the course of the
agitation on the subject in the States as
closely as possible.
